Crystal Castles at Terminal 5 - Review

I believe that despite whatever her vocal range may be, Alice Glass is dedicated to the cause of showing her punk roots, by showing that beyond the spoils of Crystal Castles success that she is not a spoiled new-waver. Even with a broken ankle, the lead vocalist of this industrial dance induced band will go on stage and dance and jump and limp and scream and howl at the crowd.. She will even stage dive and have the crowd hold her up as well as hold up her broken ankle at moments with no remorse and without and recover time as well as without compliant. The engineer behind the beauty of the group Ethan Kath is a true producer and the true heart of the band, re-mixing various tracks in terms of the introduction to the song or the ending or re-imagining the entire song and they also used different vocal distortions than what was used on the album, which gave the songs new life. In addition with doing all of this re-mastering Ethan joined in to sing song of the songs that he put his vocals into. Another amazing aspect of the show came from amazing light show, which was completely in sync with every beat of a crystal castles songs and with the performance of Alice Glass, at some points it seemed almost in complete balance. A interesting turn of events also occurred just after the new extended introductions to a song would begin to start or even before the new intro would start, Alice would seem to be singing some kind of new poem or prayer that was said before the song began..something unexpected and the audience seemed to love it.Over-all the performance was a true representation of the bands efforts to expand and it exposed and reinforced how much the band cares about their music and performances.
